GOLDEN TEXT?"For unto you 1st born this day In the city of David a Savior, which la Christ the Lord."?Luke ML Almost twenty centuries ago, In an obscure village in Palestine, an evefit occurred which has had more in fluence upon the hiBtory of the human race than any other event since time began. A childd waB born?not an unusual event surely. He was no child of distinguished parents, nor a prospective ruler of a world's empire. He was born in a stable, and cradled i In a manger. And yet around that lowly crib and humble birth, the life, thoughts, and love of millions have from that day to this been centered. During these two thousand years many noble births have been regis tered, but none so great as this. Em perors, monarchs, and mighty men have lived and died, and are forgot ten; nations have risen and waned; but .the birth of the Christ child is more influential in this day than on the first birthday of our age twenty centuries ago. The announcement of Christ's birth was made by angels. What more fit ting accompaniment could there be to such an august event! How inter ested angels are in the welfare of mankind! How gladly they told the Christmas story to a handful of poor shepherds! How free from i>ride they were! They were not content that one of their number should tell the atory?they all broke out in that great Christmas anthem. Do we believe in angeis any more? We used to. We used to sing "there are angels hovering round." If we believe the Bible, we still believe in thp ministry of angels. j * Or?ward we go for still we hear them singing; Angels sing on, "your faithful watches keeping. / Sing us sweet fragments of the song above. The announcement was ihadu to a small band of shepherds. No angelic host went to the Sanbedrin, or to the paiace or Heroa ana Drone toe news of the birth of the Christ child. Is there not a lesson here? Does not God have special regard for the low ly and the humble? Hath not God chosen the weak things to confound the mighty? If angels were willing to preach, to a few farmers, should the preacher be ashamed of ministering to a small and humble people, or the Sunday school teacher to a small class? The scholars of the land were also notified of Christ's birth. The Scrip ture does not say?"not any wise men are called," but "not many." It is a mistake to say that religion is good enough for women, and children, but not for strong, brainy men. The braineBt men of the ages have been Christian men: Gladstone, the great statesman; Blackstone, the great law yer; Herschel, the greats, scientist? these and many others, too numerous to name, have been Christians. So It has come to pass that the wise men of the ea'st Lave been followed by the wise men of the west, and they all have bowed at this manger. The rea son why every university must have its chapel is because brainy men must have a place to worship. That the birth of Christ was mys terious and miraculous need not dis turb us. How Christ's body was pre pared, how the divine and human could become one?who can tell? We do not even understand our own birth, let alone His. If ever anything of a miraculous nature should take place, when should it be if not now when the King of all laws is coming Into the world? Let us be careful lest in denying the virgin birth, we chal lenge the purity of the Virgin's life. The birth of Christ was the coming of God to and in man, not that God had never come to man before, for he had. But he had come only as a so journer. In -Christ he came to abide. His name is "Iminanuel,?God with us." Whatever else the incarnation may mean, it certainly means that God took our nature and became as one of us?he came unto his own. The birth of Christ brings to us good tidings of great joy. If the an gels sang, should not we? He came to save not angels, but men. The first note of this angelic song is a note of gladness, and song has character ( Ized Christianity. This birth In Bethlehem shows God's attitude toward men. God has good i '?'<11 man Ho in tint the hard. severe judge that men so often wrong ly picture him to be. Sinner, you have cursed God. but he has not cursed you back; you have lifted your hands against him, but he has not destroyed you. He has thoughts of kindness, and of love toward you. If you have wrong thoughts of God, let them die away in the music of that first Christian anthem, "good will to ward men." The Christian story brings to us also a Savior. Jesus Christ was born with reference to sin. He was the only man that ever was born with reference to that great fact. Other great men were teachers and reform ers?he alone could save men from their sins. His name shall be called Jesus and he shall save his people from their sins. This is good tidings of great joy to a sin-stricken world. If Christ the Lord cannot save you from your sins, no one else can. He i6 a personal Savior?unto you he was born; he is a mighty Savior he is Christ., the Anointed. The man who believes what God Bays can roll the mountains out of th? water wherever he goes.

Factory?Mag t r" r WHAT AN UPSETTING of prices the arrival / of the Flanders "4" Motorcycle has occasioned. Why, the other makers seem to be in a panic. IT'S FUNNY, TOO, when you recall the unkind things they s^id about the Flanders "4" when we first advertised it and stated the price. bF COURSE THEY SAID a first-class four horsepower motorcycle could not be made for $175, even with battery ignition. And a mag-j neto included?utterly impossible^ ; .WE WISH WE COULD print all the things they said in their frantic efforts to discredit the Flanders "4" and justify their own prices? which at that time were $250 and $275 for marViiriM nf same nower and less quality. 'OU WILL REMEMBER they all said the only way it could be done was to make the machine out of poor materials and throw them together. They not only'admitted, they pro tested, they could not duplicate the Flanders "4" at the price?or anywhere near it THAT WAS BEFORE we had begun to ship Flanders M4y* to our dealers'and customers. They felt safe in making such statements?for though > they knew in their hearts that this concern could not afford to turn out a second grade article-^they had no idea what a sensa tion it was going to create. SO THEY LAID TRAPS for themselves?and now we are driving them right into them. THEY MUST EAT their own words?they said they would have to use poor material and poorer work in the making to meet the price of Flanders "4." I ! T. , .. . . I : WELL, THEY HAVE ALMOST met the price ?and they will have to meet it and go lower before they can sell their antiquated machines in competition with this up-to-the-r6inute, motorcycle. NOW IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, but are we to assume that what they said was true and that they are now making punk machines to meet fianders in compeuuuu?ui Uinw they told fibs about it? i FRANKLY WE DONT BELIEVE they are making them any worse?some things are impossible. And we do know that until Flanders "4" arrived on the scene, prices of motorcycles were high above all reason. WE SAID IN OUR AD that Flanders "4"? magneto included?selling for $175, left a mighty small profit to us on each machine. BUT WE ARE SATISFIED with a small profit on each machine so long as we can build 50,000 per year. And the price?$175, magneto in cluded?has created a demand sufficient to i i.!f 1 !1 1* A jusuiy us in uunuuig uiat. uwuy> HERE'S A POINT YOU HADN'T NOTICED perhaps: Other makers did not drop their prices until we had actually begun to make deliveries. Do you know why? There were two reasons. FIRST: OUR AD CREATED a tremendous de mand which we were as yet unable to supply. The other makers saw that and determined to supply some of it at high prices. And they did. Then they began to think it was going to con tinue. SECOND r THEY HOPED that when this ma chine did appear it would not be up to all our claims?and would give them a new lease of life.
